Michael Milnes is a Rochester MN physical therapist. He is a lifelong Minnesota
resident who was born in a small town called Red Wing. He attended the
University of Minnesota and earned his graduate degree in physical therapy in
1996.
His practice is located in a Victorian house in the Rochester historic district, and
he and his wife make their home in another Victorian located about six blocks
away. Both are members of the local Historic Preservation Society, and his wife
has an active leadership role. “It’s just one small way of giving back to the
community,” he says.
Successful small business, he explains, need the support of their communities,
and that includes physical therapy offices and medical practices. It can be
challenging to find enough time to be active in the historic society, he says, which
is one of the things that led his wife to become so involved. “That, and her
excellent administrative skills.”
Being active in the community also extends to Michael Milnes’s co-sponsorship,
with a Rochester MN wine merchant, of a Little League baseball team, and in
semi-annual food drives.
